Stop Speaking cell option not working

Copper Contributor

Hi,

 

Suddenly my excel started speaking cells and I am unable to stop by using all options like

1. Enabling Stop Speaking Option and clicking it

2. Reinstall Office 

3. Took Office assistant help who also tried all options available like Change proofing setting, Reinstalling office excel and disabling addins etc.

 

FYI my windows version 11 62 Bit

Kindly help as this is quite irritating and a privacy issue ..

Regards

Manoj

You can do the following:

  • Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor.
  • Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window.
  • Type or copy/paste the following line into the Immediate window:
Application.Speech.SpeakCellOnEnter = False
  • With the insertion point anywhere in that line, press Enter.
  • Close the Visual Basic Editor.

Speak  on Enter should now be disabled.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the reply. Yes it looks like working. But weird that the command given is not working and looks like an issue.
Excellent. I have been fighting with this for far too long. Shame Microsoft cant fix their product though.

Thanks for this
